HELENA, Mont. — The U.S. soccer team will be missing a key figure for the Gold Cup final against Panama on Sunday: its coach.
Jurgen Klinsmann was suspended for one game Friday by CONCACAF’s disciplinary committee, the result of his ejection in Wednesday’s 3-1 victory over Honduras in the semifinals.
Klinsmann was dismissed “for showing dissent towards the referee by throwing the ball in a violent manner,” the disciplinary committee found, and said FIFA rules require anyone ejected from a match to be suspended for the following game.
“I don’t think it changes too much,” U.S. captain DaMarcus Beasley said.
